Baxter Blue Steel "Not a Replica" Hart Steel
Hello everyone,
I received today the "Not a Replica" designed by Baxter of California made by Hart Steel straight razor.
At first glance: Wow what a razor, now this is a modern razor! Its not for everyone I get it but if you truly appreciate straight razors, I know you will do a double take. This razor has a black finish not a black paint coat. I apologize in advance because I dont know how this "process" happens (no info on Hart Steel website or Baxter of California). When I called Hart Steel the main person was tied up and all I could get was the blade is same as others but has a different finishing to create the black. This is a 6/8- Quarter ground. The weight of the blade is nice. The scales however I am not fond of, trully disappointed. They seem to be of a different material than that of the white scales. I purchased bocote scales for it today. The leather sleeve is made by MAKR Carry Goods, hand crafted in the USA- Genuine Shell Cordovan Leather hand stitched. Color is a very dark navy blue. Overall very satisfied. This is not a review but a mere first glance.
I will update you guys on how the shave is, unfortunately I shaved last night so the waiting begins..
